Usable lenses

. Most AF Nikkor lenses, AI-type Nikkor lenses and Teleconverters can be used.

Nikkor lenses are designed to provide full coverage of the 35mm film format (24mm x 36mm) . The CCO in the E2/E2s is 8.7mm x 6.8mm, which is smaller than the 35mm format, In order to provide you with the full angle of view which you associate with your use of Nikon 35mm cameras for each usable Nikkor lens , the E2/E2s incorporates high-quality image size reduction optics. To ensure lens performance commensurate with Nikon 'scustomarily high standards , only the lenses listed in the following chart are regarded as usable with the E2/E2s camera's image reduction system .

• Maximum lens apertures

The E2/E2s does not use the Nikkor lens'aperture for exposure control. The lens 'aperture remains open all the time for the brightest viewing. Instead , an aperture is built into the camera'simage reduction optics . The maximum aperture available is indicated in the following table .

Lens max. aperture	Available aperture range
f/1.2 to f/5 6	f/65 to f/38
Slower than f/5.6 to 1/7.3	f/8 to f/38
Slower than f/7.3 to f/9.5	1/9.5 to f/38
Slower than f/95	Max . aperture value* to f/38

* Apertures can be set in 1/2 step increments .

•Apertures outside the above range cannot be set.

•The depth-of-field that you see in the viewfinder is con trolled by the lens' aperture. The actual depth-of-field for the picture wil l be controlled by the image reduction optics 'aperture . Therefore, the actual depth-of-field will be greater than that seen in the viewfinder.
